Hello I purchased Samsung Galaxy SL I9003 brand new from Ebay for 19190/- with one year India Warranty. The phone is a stripped down version of Samsung Galaxy S I9000, Major difference being S-LCD on I9003 instead of brilliant S-AMOLED on I9000. The new one comes with 1650mAmp battery, 4GB internal memory (I9000 came with 8/16 GB Internal Storage), and a slot for MicroSD card (Card is not provided with the box) Though I new everything before going ahead with the purchase, as i thought it as a good value for money, once I started using it i am not completely satisfied. Samsung has divided the internal memory into two parts, 2Gb for Internal Phone storage and the other 2Gb as Internal SD card. I have 8Gb external SD card as well installed on the device The internal SD card directory is mnt/sdcard, The External SD card directory is mnt/sdcard/external_sd Now when I download and application and decide it to move to SD card, it by default moves to mnt/sdcard (which is timid 2gb internal SD), leaving my external SD useless. Though i can select External SD as default storage for Image and videos taken by the camera. But most applications and there files are always on Internal SD. Apart from that, even though the battery is 1650 mAmp, it drains out pretty fast on moderate use. Since my DROID X gives me almost 24 hours of battery life with wifi continuously on, samsung i9003 managed to last only for 12-13 hours. Though I am getting much better battery life after doing a factory reset and charging the device to full once. But having said all that, i think its very good value for money. In just 19000/- bucks its a top end smart phone and pretty fast as well. About Touchwiz UI 3.0, I absolutely HATE IT! I am on launcher pro, and i am loving it. Though the phone has not been rooted yet, i was wondering if the same file would work as in samsung galaxy S I9000, but I am not willing to be the first one to try out. Camera is good, 720 p recording is great as well. But I cant stop comparing it with my Droid X. Samsung is way far behind in matching the image quality and videos/audio quality of droid X in HD video recording. Droid X is a workhorse, its like Yamaha and I9003 is like Splendor (no offence) Wait for couple of months and hopefully the price will drop to 17-18 k!! lol All in all! Nothing could beat this phone at this price tag!! Company Link http://in.samsungmobile.com/mobile-phones/samsung-galaxy-s-lcd-4gb

Opera has announced that it has now opened its very own Opera Mobile Store – offering both free and paid-for apps. The store will offer apps for phones with Java, as well as handset with Symbian, BlackBerry and Android OS. The store has been set up in partnership with Appia, and the storefront is apparently tailored around your phone's operating system, local language and currency. This web app store is open for access on all browsers however Opera browsers will include a featured link for the application store, making it easily accessible to all Opera Mini and Mobile users. The number of apps available will vary according to the end device with the store only presenting apps that work on that phone. Users will get a tailored store experience that includes local language and currency support too. By leveraging Appia, Opera will have the ability to offer some 140,000 Appia apps on various platforms and will be able to boast its own store with minimal effort. Opera Mobile Store was operating in stealth mode during February. It managed to attract over 15 million users from 200 countries and achieved more than 700,000 downloads per day! These figures have helped to establish the Opera Mobile Store as one of the Top Ten mobile apps store worldwide. Oh, and if you’re a developer you should visit the Opera Publisher Portal here which provides developers with an easy way to get their apps onto the Opera Mobile Store Via : Techradar, gigaom The store is now open and available at http://mobilestore.opera.com/ Opera is clearly angling to get a piece of the pie by extending beyond just providing a mobile browser to being a purveyor of content
